This just information of my experience installing R on SunOS 5.9
today, not a request for help.
(in case anyone cares, and if not, I apologize for the distraction)
I am building R 2.6.0 (patched; svn revision 43319, 2007-11-01) and
encountered the problem described below.
I believe the problem is an old gcc (version 3.0.4, built some 5
years ago), because the warnings do not occur when I specify
CC = cc
in the environment before configuring, and building R succeeds.
Hence I'm mailing to r-devel instead of r-bugs, as suggested in the
warning messages.
I don't have much information about the cc I used (I'm not the
sysadmin of this or any Solaris machine), other than it resides in
/opt/SUNWspro, and appears to be part of "Sun Studio 11", whatever
that is.
The messages from R's configure were:
configure: WARNING: arpa/inet.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: arpa/inet.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: arpa/inet.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: arpa/inet.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: arpa/inet.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: arpa/inet.h: in the future, the compiler will
take precedence
configure: WARNING: ## ----------------------------------- ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ##
configure: WARNING: ## ----------------------------------- ##
And then the same set of warnings for
netdb.h
netinet/in.h
sys/socket.h
At the very end configure reports:
configure: WARNING: could not determine type of socket length
Then, make fails with:
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:41,
from /usr/include/netdb.h:98,
from ../../../R-patched/src/main/platform.c:1586:
